CA Winner: KUYA. For design firms, printers, paper companies, art schools, illustrators, photographers, etc. “The KUYA brand is uniquely autobiographical — a story of an immigrant using creativity to connect with a culture that once felt distant. It celebrates the studio's Filipino roots mixed with California life and the nostalgic quirks we grew up loving.” https://ow.ly/hMAm50T6icS #CAWinner #CAMagazine #KUYA #FilipinoDesign

Run, don’t walk to your nearest magazine stand that sells fine creative publications. KUYA is featured twice in this year’s Communication Arts?Design Annual. Flip through the pages and you’ll spot our very own KUYA: Brand Book and our anti-gun violence campaign, AR15andUnder. We're pretty darn grateful to be in the company of some of the best design studios and designers within these hallowed pages. So come grab a copy won't ya? #BrandIdentity #DesignAwards #Design

We thought it was time high speed internet got a little more friendly, so creating Ollie alongside our friends over at Underline made a lot of sense. Fun, optimistic, and inviting — literally everything the big ISPs aren't. Can't wait till Underline's brand of friendly neighborhood gigabit fiber internet is in every neighborhood (including ours).

It’s official! Our work is being published in another Annual this year. So excited that two labors of love from our studio: KUYA’s very own Brand Book and our anti-gun campaign, AR15 & Under have been selected to be part of?Communication Arts'?upcoming Design Annual set to hit magazine stands September. Salamat again CommArts! #brandidentity #nonprofitadvertising #designawards

Looks like Ollie has decided to leave the comforts of his Colorado Springs home to say "hello!" to all his new internet pals.

Since we struck out on our own, a core part of KUYA’s mission has always been to use our creativity for causes we believe in. And as parents, the gun violence epidemic in the US has weighed heavily on us. When our friend and frequent collaborator, Robert Calabro asked us to help him bring his idea AR15 & Under to life, the need to answer the call came easy. What came harder was creating something meaningful while continually facing the horrible reality of assault weapons head-on. So with great pride, we’re excited to announce?D&AD?has honored our work with our studio’s first-ever Graphite Pencil. With this, it’s our hope AR15 & Under’s message spreads even further, encouraging lawmakers to make the safety of future generations a priority and finally put common sense gun laws in place. #banassaultweapons #creativity #design #nonprofitcampaign

At KUYA, we love art and we love design. But we also know to create a brand story worth telling, you need an incredible mind for copy to give dimension to something that goes beyond a pretty picture. So we’re grateful to team up with someone like Robert Calabro, who has spearheaded the art of wordsmithing alongside of us. And today, we’re beyond excited to see our collaboration has been recognized with 2 shortlist nods from the?D&AD?Awards. One for our AR15 & Under campaign for Change the Ref (Writing for Design: Integrated) and our recent Brand Refresh project for the folks at Underline (Writing for Design: Brand Voice). And of course, Rob didn’t go at it alone. His words were brought to life by incredible visual artists and designers like?Margaret Royena,?Samara S.,?Wynn, and?Cameron McManus. We’re hoping to be in the final group of winners being announced this Wednesday, May 22nd. ???? But whether or not we walk away with a D&AD Pencil, this means so much to our little shop and lets us know we’re onto something. #brandidentity #advertising #awards
